Bug 153807 – dev-libs/glib should install both static and dynamic libs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Cyrius 2006-11-02 05:54:57 UTC]

When compiling the new version of syslog-ng, the compil failed cause syslog-ng must be dynamic when glib is shared. Or syslog-ng must be static when glib is static.
So i add static and shared use flags to glib to permit the users to do so.

This is plain wrong. If a package can install both static and dynamic libs, then it should install both by default, without any flags. If dev-libs/glib doesn't do it, then it's an ebuild bug.

What about the hardened version then ?
If i good remember, some grsecurity or pax options force us to do only static one.
This means that the shared part couldn't be done.

Am i right when saying that ? If not, i will do both then.

we should probably be passing --enable-static since its off by default.

Hi,

i have proposed a ebuild for glib to build both static and dynamic libs. In my case it was useful for evms

Have a look at bug number #152293

patch to glib-2.12.4.ebuild to always build static library as well as dynamic.

Here's a patch to the latest ebuild to also always build the static library.
